Thank you. But for the spouse of British Citizen, the absence is only 270 days in the last 3 years where as for the ILR route its 450 days in the last 5 years. So if she waits for another 2 years, then she can apply under the spouse category, where as for the ILR route, she has to wait for much lon...

Hi, thanks for your response. I wasn't clear in my previous message, probably because I was unaware of the absence rules. Your answer provided the required clarity, and upon further checking, I think we may have to wait for two more years, until June 2025, before applying for naturalisation for my w...

Thanks Vinny. In fact, I had reported an error in the BRP in early January. However, I didn't receive any response so far. Hence I posted in this forum to check if there is anything else to be done.

I will report the error once again and see how it goes.

Thanks

Thanks, Vinny, for the quick response.

Just to be clear, so is the visa vignette having the correct type, while the BRP got it wrong? And hence I need to request a correction in the BRP? Kindly please clarify.

Thanks

Hi, My son was born in India in 2021. At that time, both my wife and I were on ILR. Hence, we had applied for his Indian passport and subsequently applied for his visa under the category "Non-British child of a parent, parents settled in the UK" Visa was issued to him and then my wife and ...

I am trying to find the letter received along with the visa, I don't remember seeing anything significant within that. In the BRP card, it says Type of Permit PBS Dependent (Leave to Enter) When we applied from India, below is the link used to apply as the child (https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/ch...

Thanks for the information. We have submitted both our ILR BRP cards at the time of application submission. But not sure why ILE wasn’t issued. Any idea what is the procedure to get it changed to ILE? Also, is it a pre-requisite to have ILR/ILR before applying for citizenship or can we directly appl...

Hi, Thank you for the response. Our second child was born outside the UK, after our ILR, but before my British citizenship. When we applied for his visa from India in December, we were told to apply for his visa under the below visa application category. "Non-British child of a parent who has p...

Hi, I have a query regarding applying for British Citizenship for my kids. I received my British Citizenship earlier this year and my spouse is still holding an Indian passport.

Ok great. Thanks for the quick reply. I will return the BRP card in that case.

Hi, Thanks to the amazing community, I have now completed my oath ceremony and in possession of my naturalisation certificate. However, as I understand, I think I need to return my existing BRP card at the earliest. However, as mentioned in my previous post , we are currently awaiting my newborn son...

Fantastic, thank you for the confirmation. I will proceed ahead in that case.

This forum has been fantastic to clarify all things immigration related

Have a great day!!

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, if my son was born in the UK or if he was born after my citizenship, things would have been much simpler 🙂 Just to clarify my understanding, do you reckon that it makes no difference to his application and hence I can proceed with my oath ceremony appointment at the ...

Hi, Good Morning!! I naturalisation application has been approved in August and I was asked to complete the Oath ceremony. However, when the naturalisation application was approved, I was in India for the arrival of my newborn son. So I have reached out to my local council’s registration department ...
